The clouds shroud the night sky, little pockets of moon beams hit the flowerbed like a flock of angels dance upon them, but one entity is hit by them, and even welcomes it when being asleep for so long, “huh?.....it’s already night….” Nari proclaims to himself, ‘I’ve been asleep for so long? *rubs eyes and gets up* seems that it’s time to get a move on!’ Nari stretches, grabs his chest-plate and puts it on, while that happens…… *wrussle wrussle*, *wrussle wrussle* two hungry looking boars stroll into the flowerbed,

“Seems that both of boars are damaged, did something happen a while yonder?” while pondering of what happened to them, Boar A charged at Nari! , Nari quickly took-up-arms and kicked-upped his Glaive, he knew he didn’t have time to pick-up his shield so he stood waiting with his weapon pointing at the point between the boars underbelly and his mouth, just quietly waiting for the Boar to get closer…. ‘Just a little… closer…’ Nari thought, ‘Now!’, just when the boar when the boar was 4-5 feet away, Nari lunges his glaives sharp-end in the ground and digs the earth, bends down, while grabbing the other end of his weapon and the middle of the glaive, he uses his strength to fling the glaive up and send the Boar A flying up and crashing down behind him leaving quite a crater (-40% HP to Boar A) , not stopping to see how the boar was or what he was doing, Nari grabs his shield and runs as fast as he can towards the other Boar, which has aggroed onto him, Nari then bends down slightly and prepares to block the Boars first charge, with a loud *Klang!* (-5% HP to Narihama) Nari nudges backwards a centimetre then bends down further and… smacks the Boar up onto it’s back with his shield (-10% HP to Boar B) for a couple seconds but Nari always knew every second counted in battle and he learnt the hard way, and thus he thrust his glaive into Boar B (-11% HP to Boar B) and does so two more times to defeat the Boar (-22% HP to Boar B)(Boar B is defeated), just when Nari turned around to meet his other enemy, he was met with a charge to the gut (-20% HP to Narihama), which would of sent him ‘flying’ if hadn’t of been wearing his platemail, finally meeting again the Boar that he left alone ‘just this ugly fella and done…’ he smirked as he thought while cutting the rest of the Boars health with one big swing (-17% HP to Boar A)(Boar A is defeated).

“Feww~ *wiping his forehead with a little cloth from his pocket*, much harder getting used to it then I original thought, but never the less that was a great first fight I had in this world”.

Night, the foul nocturne of cicadas crying out in tones unwelcoming made known to Aion that unfortunately he was among the boars. Having not played these games in his life, he had no idea where the safe zones other than the towns were. Safe at least in light travel with the minimal amount of mobs, players to him were not worthy of trust. The entirety of his day was pacing about finding what do with himself since he was fated to remain in this damnable game indefinitely. A player was spotted flailing around some boars in the act of dance and play, swordplay and evasion rather. To Aion it wasn't particularly any good, watching the boy feel accomplished with his prancing about was worth a sigh to spare words. "Those boars, the ones you decided to have a speck of fun with there were mine. Lost track of them whilst I mourned the night's coming." Wandering off too far from the boars they disengaged and went back to their grazing leaving themselves open for the taking. "Suppose now I have to make with fresh ones right out the mire, these over by you, in the muck." Aion drew his sword and grinned. Unclean as these animals were, he wanted none more but to clean them with his blade, thrusting them into the cleanse that only blood can provide.  Before that however, he learned that the boy was a guardian, which provided all that was needed to know about the boy's damage output compared to his own. I see, that's how he cleared a clean forty off the boar he struck first.  A spin or two of the sword and he was off with the first blow against the poor miscreation:

"Going to ask you to pull the ones around it, I just want the one right here. This one is in need of a wash." He dodged the charge of the piglet, reminding him to keep to task. "Tsk", sucking his teeth at almost getting hit by the sod. Aion knew that with the Guardian here, he'll have less to play with, might as well make do with what he has. A volley of slashes lit up the pig with a few making contact and the rest cutting air. The Young Pittered Boar as it was so named was down to 24%. Taking a glance at the details that Evaluation gave him he sneered at the boar after finding out its level. "One. Disappointing." Twos and threes interested Aion more for the slight increase in challenge than being 'even' with these wastrels for a moment. Even for one that lived down in low quarters, he would not consider himself on par with swine. Taking a hit whilst in the menu lowered himself to about 86% of his current health. Angered, he closes the menu with haste, clutches the No-dachi firmly in hand and cut across the boar with a swipe designed in all its graces to murder. The wind cut with the sounds of the aggravation Aion now felt. He turned to where the boy last stood to assess how well he fared. Without prancing about in plate fooling with his prey this time, he hoped.

Seeing as though there was a little “hiccup” in this situation, Nari wanted to apologise for the misunderstanding, just when he faced the samurai and was about to greet him, the unknown samurai sprawls into action by proclaiming that Nari should fight some boars which just spawned in while he spouts that he’ll take the only level 1 and Nari taking the other four boars into a battle ‘is he mocking me or is he reeeaally lazy or just stupid?’ as that thought ran thought Nari’s mind he sighs and engages in combat with the other four boars:

Young Pittered Boar A
HP: 100% / 100%
Level 2
Type: Beast
Weakness/Resistances: None

Young Pittered Boar B
HP: 100% / 100%
Level 2

Weakness/Resistances: None

Young Pittered Boar C

Level 3
Type: Beast
Weakness/Resistances: None

Young Pittered Boar D
HP: 100% / 100%
Level 4
Type: Beast
Weakness/Resistances: None

Seeing as though the boars are using a formation (Diamond Shape) he thought of trying to take out the smaller levelled ones and then take on the level 4 last, ‘so with this kind of method I should need that lazy samurai’s help if this works out properly’ he thought as he took a perfect posture to give for a perfect horizontal arc, and thus the Boar’s charge in there diamond shape formation, but the only problem was that the level 4 was in front! Giving-up on the idea of the horizontal arc, he dashes as fast as he could, jumps and with full force he kicks Boar D with his heavy-duty boot (-8%HP to Boar D) and thus propels him even more forward, having his glaive aligned to give the perfect vertical slam he needs! *SMASH!*as the glaive hits its target Perfectly! (-24%HP to Boar C) Nari send the Boar head first into the ground, just noticing he ruined flowers under him, he staggers a bit and loses his posture when he was meant to dodge the next attack to the side by Boar A (-18%HP to Narihama) and sends him flying into a bed of yellow chrysanthemums, remembering something he doesn’t want to remember he gets up, his eyes of indigo and yellow glows in the night with his pupils very thin, he screams at the Samurai who has just seen him getting flown across the flower field after ignoring Nari’s side of the fight, “Stop acting like you know what you’re doing and Goddam help me kill these son’s-of-Bs will ya!!” as his echoing voice booms across the meadows and his face showing the anger and concern towards the samurai and the situation is very apparent.

"I left yours alone at least, you wanted action, right?" He sighed as he engaged the wing boar, taking advantage of the tumbling Guardian by rushing toward him. "You'll be after me." Aion spoke, a sort of odd response as boars don't speak more than grunts and snorts. Still, the idea was just to turn the attention over toward him enough for the boy to get back on his feet and take out the rear. Whilst Aion liked the challenge of the higher level boars, he didn't dare test two at once, being insecure toward the amount of defense his armor had to offer. His work ethic was questioned however and the blood made the way up the river-like veins toward his already irritated mind. That was enough for Aion to ignore his trepidation and take on the Young Pittered Boars. The Diamond Shape formation was an offensive one, with the highest level creature leading the charge and protecting the rear guard allowing them to simply cover their leader and engage relatively safely. A charge from this formation is remarkable for covering the flanks one could decide to retreat to making evasion more taxing for newcomers. Aion's current partner was engaged by the winger assigned with the task of covering any boars attacked on that side. He decided to break down the formation using this moment of separation to his advantage. Striking the boar on its side [Boar A: -12%] it broke stride to turn toward Aion and advanced toward him breaking formation.




The idea was to break apart the alignment gradually until they were entirely scattered. Swiping his sword to aim at the sides of the pig was how he thought it best to steer it away from returning to its peers. It was an adapted from how he saw shepherds corral sheep back in line. Whilst little better than the dancing he claimed the boy was doing, it had more of a purpose. Another boar trailed behind and jumped toward Aion, giving him little option but to take a hit leaving him down to 74% of his health now. He wasn't fond of the night, not for its darkness, not for its grime and less so for his competency during it. Whatever was made clear by light of day was obscured toward near blindness at night, which made tracking his opponents tedious. This didn't cross the mind of the guardian over there doubtless. People don't seem to consider enough possibilities nor could they, every probable detail about someone is obscured until it's been told. All else is assumption, all else a guess. Infuriating still when having to deal with those unknowing, requiring him to explain himself over and again becomes taxing. He didn't make a mention of it this time, driving his sword right below the rib of the boar he coaxed away to soothe his frustration. [Boar A: -24%] The squealing provided both a symphony of relieved stress and cacophony overall. The latter proving more weighty after a time of listening. Dodging the boar in chase to slash at his current victim to silence its meaningless cries, wanting succor from its whining, Aion activated his skill. Ace Move – Kabutowari initiated and with a dash Aion stuck once more at the side of the foolish boar ending in its final silence as the move ends with a strike at its skull. “Enough.” [Boar: A – 64%, defeated] "The formation has broken, deal with yours and I'll do what I can." Through a breath, he found enough air to yell toward the boy, who should have gotten up by now.

“Ahhhh…..” the long winded sighs began to set in, the plate armour seems much heavier when Nari’s like this, but this is when his true strength lies in, “the last spurt to the finishing line” is of what some people call it, kicking his anger and everything else out of the door, the long annoyed and semi-angry Nari is no more, the only thing left is the fight between the boars and the samurai, and his slight embarrassment to of which he has none of now, seeing as though this has gone long enough, he gets up the “cool” way by kicking himself up and strips the chest armour that’s getting very sluggish on him, kicks up his glaive, throws his shield next to the chest-plate that has taken a comfy residing area on a bed of the yellow chrysanthemums and thus bare-footed he kicks the ground, propelling him towards the now three boars, with a just and punishing arc and thus connecting the glaive with the three Boars (-40%HP to Boar A)(-40%HP to Boar B)(-30%HP to Boar C) he proclaims to the samurai which is now behind him, “ha….ha….” he chuckles in a very ‘tired’ manner and turns his head behind whilst holding all three of the boars of with one foot in the head of the level 3, and the glaive’s ends lodged in the tusks pushing the other level 2’s which are on either side of the level 3(-5%HP to Boar A)(-5%HP to Boar B)(-3%HP to Boar C), “you do know the role of the DPS correct? If you do, start acting like one and don’t prance around like a little ballerina which has its tights so far ups it’s ass that they can’t dance properly will you?” the Boars are beginning to get very restless as Nari continues the convoluted speech with the samurai as his listener, “And I mean you shouldn’t focus your fighting on just one enemy, a samurai is a type of tank you know, and even though they don’t have the defence like me, a guardian, your class has an incredible damage out-put, that’s why most samurais go the DPS route than stay as a guardian-like class, so that means a guardian and samurai can have very great synergy, like this, wait there”, and with that Nari pushes the Boars, and retracts his glaive, whilst Nari’s hand slides across the glaive and reaching the non-bladed end, he skips forward just enough that the samurai doesn’t get “pelted” in the gut, whilst the boars are try to get back to their original form like a while ago, Nari swings, no, he glides his glaive across, just narrowly and purposely missing the samurais stomach, the night’s light reflects and shines on the blood the boars have spilt on the now stained white roses and a the ever-more red roses underneath the fighting wolf and the boar(-55%HP to Boar A)(-55%HP to Boar B)(-32%HP to Boar C)(Boars A & B are Defeated), in the time it took Nari to kill the two level 2’s and sufficiently weakening the level 3 boar, he risen his glaive and raised his knee up to his stomach and pronounced the following, <<Heavy Anchor>>, thus he slams his foot in the direction of the last and the ever-near dead Boar and points his glaive for a yet more added effect, the undescribed force that has pinned the Boar down wasn’t going to end or stop abruptly, and somehow the Boar knew and yet wanted to still try and squirm out , the squeals of pain and the ever-little slight jerking here or there, Nari has frozen as well by the un-relinquished force that has seeped through to him aswell, “you, samurai, finish it!” and with a last roar, his pupil’s thin and on par with the momentum, takes note of what the samurai does next…

Kid had the audacity to state that it was he who was dancing about. The blood was pouring through with rage now. "Daring me are you? Well, thanks for the tip. I'll repay you with some of this!" A feral swipe ripped across the nape of the hapless boar. Its blood painting the ground in streams of crimson. The wild grin on his countenance was the only sense one had that he was having fun. The rest of him was a worrisome sight, red with anger veins wrapped around densely knotted muscle. Wound with visible tension, uneasy in both stance, breath and grip. Aion had a consistent streak with him whenever his work ethic was put to question. The boatswain back on deck when he was bound for England had tested his patience with jibes and japes about how much of a slacker he was compared to him. No words about how he was the one who cleaned the deck alone, helped with errands that wasn't stipulated anywhere in line with his duties. He tended to the beds, did the laundry, helped the engine crew with their manual work and even dealt with the other greeks on the trip as intermediaries. He had done his share and was still treated as a vagabond.

Now, here stuck in this game he had met with the same from a mere boy. This time however was more deserved, he didn't know how to play. He hadn't touched a game since he was a boy himself. All he had done whenever he had was find new ways to demolish whatever he held in his hand. Being able to let off steam off the side of a boar or the gelatinous mass of a slime was welcomed. A reward could actually be given him for his shortcomings. As much as he wanted to yell expletives, there wasn't much to make him right in this situation.  He sheathed his No-Dachi and turned toward the Guardian still clearly unhappy, "I suppose thanks are in order. Know any more about my role? Would love being able to take on more piggies." That's all they were, piglets. A strange sort of person would mercilessly slaughter so many of the replenishing boars without flinching. That was one facet of gaming he didn't understand. These creatures would defy those who encroach on their territory and fail time and again, Unless the person was such a milksop that they didn't know where the business end of the sword was, it was possible to take these on with little worry for death. "There's whole rows of the beasts just in the way. That said, I suppose you might want to know what I am doing out here. Got myself lost whilst trying to learn the map. I got frustrated and took it out on those boars you fought earlier, With that settled, what brings you out here this late?"

Nari heard and saw the anger pent-up within the samurai and clearly seeing that he didn’t like the previous statement about comparing him to a ballerina, though Nari couldn’t care less about what shot was fired, when the samurai sheathed his No-Dachi, Nari saw a feint look of anger pointed at him, “now I’ve done it…” Nari thought and began to give a very faint sigh, he listened as the samurai was asking the question about his own role as a DPS.

“Well… I have quite the amount of experience as a DPS myself, before the apocalypse started I was the leader of my platoon in one of Elder Tales biggest guilds, though I don’t care about stupid ranks” Nari looks away as he said the part with the ranks and shows a annoyed look into the dark beyond though the trees, still wondering why the boars attacked the duo since they only attack when they get struck first with a weapon or even teased for that matter, then the samurai explained the map and such, with the temptation of laughing out loud because of that comment, he remembered that he also gets lost if he doesn’t pay attention to the map and thus held the laughter in, though his face was the “bored look” when he talks to strangers.

“My name is Narihama Torikota” with the gesture of a hand shake towards the samurai, Nari continued as his face lightened up abit more “I was sleeping until those boars interrupted my sleep, though I don’t mind my first battle to be against boars” with a shrug and a smile he continued “as I said earlier, I have abit of experience as a DPS myself plus hand to hand army combat training too, though I rarely use it, so you wanted to know abit more about DPS huh?” with a slight nod from the samurai, Nari continued, ”thought you sit down for this” Nari gestures to the ground as he sits on the flower bed, legs crossed, Nari begins explaining, “well, DPS means ‘Damage Per Second’ so basically they just increase the total damage dealt towards the enemies via spreading the damage towards the said amount of enemies or you can be a DPS in different ways but for some reason I don’t think you would like anything else but to kill your enemies and have fun while doing it huh?” with the “weird way” of explaining what a DPS is out of the way.

Nari begins to continue yet again, “well I’m of what’s called a ‘tank’, and tanks are basically just a wall that the enemies can’t get through but they also draw the aggro from the enemies too, meaning they make sure that the other team members don’t get hurt or get targeted by any enemies, but I think you can understand the fundamentals of what roles you can play if you team-up with other people too, so don’t be anti-social and talk, even if you find other people annoying”.

With a sigh and a little shrug, Nari still continues “hell, I can assume I used to think just like you, I have had my own fair-share of ups and downs in life too you know? But hey, why not we team-up next time if you want to take a quest of something? How about it?” with the most forward speech Nari has ever did in his life, he sends a friend request to Aion the samurai and notices the boars going back to their own little grove, if he accepts, he will be his first friend in this game.

Aion shifted states whilst he listened to Narihama, first lucidity, then a nagging impulse to swipe at another pig. finally, he settled on sitting down to rest for a while. As Narihama described the role his class was mostly, he became more intrigued by his choice. There was the desire to do one and just the one act, take out whatever would so dare cross him. No frills or fluff, just action. Whereas there were different ways as to how the role could be played, Aion knew there was one he would take above all else. After the primer around the time it was for him to leave, a strange request came. A small box the size of those used for holding tissues came across his sight. The boy would have me be his friend? We worked together not entirely willingly only once. How many people has he come across? These thoughts came at a rapid fire pace, weaving along the present as it passes. He wasn't sure how to respond right then. He wasn't thinking rather fondly of the boy not that long ago. Yet, those boars, they were dealt with, Narihama in his strange manner of combat still completed what was asked of him. Narihama spoke more than he'd liked in a person; he wasn't opposed to being around others just disliked using more words than time at hand. The inefficiency of speech was incomparable with that of warfare which struck Aion as a pressing matter.  The way he could influence events here was by going forth, venturing out and acting upon them, he wasn't doing much of influencing alone as he was. It brought him to accept the request for efficiency's sake alone, for now. The opportunity to be friends was on the table, it just wasn't his intention then. 


"Much obliged, looking forward to future progress. Name's Aion. A note, please don't talk too far down to me. Not an insect looking to burrow holes here. We'll be on fine terms if you'd would."

Ah the night was beautiful, is of what Nari would of said in a bored manner if he was alone that is, but since the company of the intriguing samurai had not taken its toll on the Wolf, he thought that this night would get even better since the night was relatively young at the time now, “I will do so Aion, but I want you to promise me that you would not call me a kid though, I too don’t want to be talk down upon anyone either you know?” with the ‘ok’ question out of the metaphorical window, Nari stands up, and looks at the samurai once more “well, I think it’s time to either get some rest here or to a nearby inn, wanna tag along for now?, Since there might not be any more piggies to kill/slaughter at the moment” a smile lit upon Nari as he just “captured” his first friend within the game/his new reality, upon stretching after the question, the Guardian raises his load of armour and sets his shield upon his back.

Nari thinking that this night can get even better, he strolls towards the cobblestone but mostly dirt road while facing the town, Londinium, The Guardian walks onward, with the samurai called Aion or not, the night is going to be a bliss is of what Wolf would say even if he was walking even alone, the tree leafs gliding in the wind beautify upon the oak wood forest which creates the shadow and the bright moon that casts the luminous rays of light that can possibly blind a person if shone on the eyes too much thus creating a perfect night for killing or even sleeping in Nari’s mind.

“What a fateful encounter” Nari thought as he continued to stroll towards the town that once was a city of kings and Queens.

Upon arriving at the edge of the town, Nari noticed that there where much less people in the town as he thought, the night’s rays gave the town a more ‘mysterious’ feel to it, while some of the flowers in the empty-ish stall’s looked like they were begging to be watered and taken care upon, the guardian advances with a light jog towards the inn, looking upon the registration desk, he sees an old lady looking up at him, “my, what do you need dear?” the Wolf talks with the old lady for the necessary rooms and ‘jibber-jabber’ until the two of them can agree a proper sum for the said ‘jibber-jabber’.

The night was still young when the Wolf and his companion who possibly took the offer of joining with him with taking a rest, ‘Rested’ in the inn, deciding what they should do for tomorrow.
